No I don’t think he will… he burned all bridges with his family over the drug so all he has is me. He has nowhere to go so he will be homeless.. which is why I think I can’t finally leave him, I will be more or less putting him on the streets…
He is on the methadone Programme but relapses more often than being clean. The relapse starts with taking heroin one a week then twice and so on until he is in full addiction again. Takes weeks then to get stable again… stays clean for it a small while then the same crap again. He wont go to meetings as he says they aren’t for him. I’m after asking him to leave me because he knows it’s the right thing to do to give me a good life because he knows I don’t have the strength to leave him right now.
It’s hard not to take their addiction personally. Why can’t they think of the pain that it causes us but I suppose that’s addiction for you. Something we will never understand. There has been months where I barely ate and just cried and cried. But then the good times come back… for a small while but at least it’s something and then I’m filled with hope that things will be ok but it never stays ok.
I feel exactly the same. I think a point will come when we can walk away but for us it’s not right now unfortunately.
You can’t save him he can only save him self. I’m after spending the last 4 years trying to save my boyfriend from heroin. He too was such a lovely guy… that guy is now long. Get out of it while you can… seriously it doesn’t get any better unfortunately.
We didn’t cause the addiction, we can’t control it and we sure as hell cant cure it. Just mind yourself. My partner is a heroin addict and I’m struggling to set myself free from it for years. Save yourself if you have the strength too .
Drugs just turn them into such liars. My partner is a heroin addict. This is my first time reaching out. Is this what we want for our lives? We can’t save them.. should we save ourselves?
